SSEHV: Lesson Plans for Ages 8 - 9 Years - Lesson 2.7 STORY TELLING SCRUFF by Cynthia Bach Tony had always wanted a dog. A big dog would be nice, but he’d settle for any dog really. It didn’t have to have a pedigree, just a nice, friendly, playful mongrel would do. But his mother had said, “It’s not fair, when I have to go out to work. The dog would be left for such a long time when I am out and you are at school. You should never leave a dog on its own for more than four or five hours at the most.” Tony thought it would be nice if his mother didn’t go out to work, but his two older sisters were at college and money to help them out had to come from somewhere. His father didn’t earn enough and there was often talk of ‘redundancy’. He didn’t really know what that meant, but it didn’t sound like a good thing. His father often worried about it, but a good education for the family was important, so there seemed no alternative to his mother having to work whether she wanted to or not. One Saturday evening there was a big thunderstorm. It seemed to go on for hours and the rain came down in torrents. Tony watched the lightning from his bedroom window until it gradually went away, then he started to read a book. Yes, you’ve guessed it - a book about dogs! A sound made him look up. What was that odd little noise, a sort of whining and snuffling mixed together? He looked out of the window. The rain had eased off, but he couldn’t see anything. He turned back to the book, but there it was again, only louder. Tony decided to go and see what it was. It sounded as if it came from outside the back door. How was it no-one else had heard it? As he went downstairs, he realised his parents were watching television and wouldn’t have heard the noise. Tony quietly opened the back door and there was the wettest, scruffiest dog you could imagine. It was not much more than a puppy and as soon as it saw Tony, it wagged its tail furiously. “Hello. Who do you belong to?” whispered Tony. “I haven’t seen you before.” Tony knew all the dogs that lived nearby, so he was puzzled. “Well, you can’t stay out there like that,” he continued. “I’d better find an old towel to dry you. You poor thing! Fancy! Being out in all the rain!” Tony wrapped the towel around the dog and fetched it into the kitchen. He had just got it half dry when his mother came into the kitchen to make a cup of tea. “What on earth have you got there?” she asked as the dog wriggled free from the towel and shook itself, spattering drops of dirty water all over the floor. “It was crying outside the back door,” said Tony. “I expect it is lost.” SSEHV: Lesson Plans for Ages 8 - 9 Years - Lesson 2.7 “Oh dear,” sighed Mummy. “You know we can’t keep it, don’t you? Anyway it must belong to someone. They are probably out looking for it.” “Can we let it stay the night? We don’t know where it has come from. It hasn’t got a collar.” Tony looked up at his mother pleadingly. “Well,” his mother paused. “All right. We’ll find a box and an old blanket just for tonight. I expect there is a bit of something in the pantry that it can have to eat and some milk. But tomorrow you must go and put a notice in the newsagents that it has been found. Some child is probably very upset.” Tony realised that it was the right thing to do. Maybe the puppy was really lost and someone was missing it. However, he couldn’t help hoping that it was a stray and perhaps he could keep it, though it wasn’t much of a hope! Between them, they fed the little dog and got it clean and dry and then Tony’s Dad came into the kitchen to see if he could help make the tea. “What on earth is that?” he enquired, seeing the dog lying on a blanket in the corner looking more like a black and white mop head than a dog. “That is the scruffiest looking dog I’ve ever seen!” “Oh Dad,” laughed Tony, knowing his Dad was only teasing. “He came in out of the rain. He’s lost. Mum said I can keep him just for tonight.” “All right, but it’s your bedtime now too, so off you go,” said his father, patting him affectionately on the head. Tony kissed his Mum and Dad goodnight and then went over to the little dog. He patted the scruffy bundle which was already dropping off to sleep and went upstairs to bed. True to his word, the next morning Tony went to the newsagents with the little card marked ‘FOUND’ followed by a description of ‘Scruff’, which was the name he had chosen to call the dog, at least while he had it. “At least until someone claims it, it will be company for you during the Half- Term,” remarked his father. “Here’s an old piece of a leather belt that I’ve cut short to make a collar for the dog. Use a length of thin rope for a lead. You must always keep it on the lead when you take it out. You can let it off in the garden and on the beach.” Tony was lucky enough to live at the seaside and when the weather was fine, he loved going down to the beach, wandering round the rock pools and finding shells. It would be fun to have Scruff with him. Maybe no-one would claim him until after half-term. SSEHV: Lesson Plans for Ages 8 - 9 Years - Lesson 2.7 Monday morning came and it was a lovely day. Tony’s older sisters were home as well. One was going to cook the lunch and make sure Tony was all right. “I shall be okay. I’m thirteen now,” stated Tony. “And I’ve got Scruff with me, so I’ll be fine down on the beach.” “All right, but don’t go too far away,” said his sister. “Be back at one o’clock for your lunch.” “Yes, I will,” called Tony as he ran off with Scruff jumping about on the end of the rope lead. “Come on, Scruff,” he said as they reached the beach. “How about fetching the ball?” He undid the rope lead, threw the ball and to his delight, Scruff fetched it back straight away. They played with the ball for quite a while, until Scruff was quite tired and lay down on the sand with his tongue hanging out. ‘I should have brought some clean water, now Scruff will have to wait for a drink until lunch time,’ he thought. “Come on, Scruff,” he said. “Let’s go over and paddle around in the rock pools.” Scruff trotted alongside Tony as he walked over to the rocks where he took off his shoes and socks. It was fun watching the shrimps darting in the shallow water and the crabs scuttling around. At last they stopped in the shade of a big overhanging rock and had a rest. Tony stared out to sea, watching a ship on the horizon, wondering how far away it was. He must have been deep in thought for a few minutes, because when he turned to see what Scruff was doing - the dog wasn’t there! “Oh dear,” panicked Tony. “What am I going to do? Scruff. Scruff,” he called, hoping that the dog would recognise his new name. Then he heard barking among some rocks a little way away. It was a very high pitched bark, so it could be Scruff, but what was the dog doing? Tony kept calling, but Scruff did not come back. There was nothing for it but to carefully climb over the slippery rocks and find him. Tony picked his way with caution. After a few minutes, the barking was louder. He knew he must be near the dog and then suddenly he could see him. What was he barking at? Tony heard a moan. Good gracious! There was someone there, amongst the rocks and Scruff had found him.

  • ADDRESSES on BHAKTI-YOGA the Preparation
    ADDRESSES ON BHAKTI-YOGA The Preparation The best definition given of Bhakti-Yoga is perhaps embodied in the verse: "May that love undying which the non-discriminating have for the fleeting objects of the senses never leave this heart of mine--of me who seek after Thee!" We see what a strong love men, who do not know any better, have for sense-objects, for money, dress, their wives, children, friends, and possessions. What a tremendous clinging they have to all these things! So in the above prayer the sage says, "I will have that attachment, that tremendous clinging, only to Thee." This love, when given to God, is called Bhakti. Bhakti is not destructive; it teaches us that no one of these faculties we have has been given in vain, that through them is the natural way to come to liberation. Bhakti does not kill out our tendencies, it does not go against nature, but only gives it a higher and more powerful direction. How naturally we love objects of the senses! We cannot but do so, because they are so real to us. We do not ordinarily see anything real about higher things, but when a man has seen something real beyond the senses, beyond the universe of senses, the idea is that he can have a strong attachment, only it should be transferred to the object beyond the senses, which is God. And when the same kind of love that has before been given to sense objects is given to God, it is called Bhakti. According to the sage Ramanuja, the following are the preparations for getting the intense love.

  • Leksykon Polskiej I Światowej Muzyki Elektronicznej
    Piotr Mulawka Leksykon polskiej i światowej muzyki elektronicznej „Zrealizowano w ramach programu stypendialnego Ministra Kultury i Dziedzictwa Narodowego-Kultura w sieci” Wydawca: Piotr Mulawka [email protected] © 2020 Wszelkie prawa zastrzeżone ISBN 978-83-943331-4-0 2 Przedmowa Muzyka elektroniczna narodziła się w latach 50-tych XX wieku, a do jej powstania przyczyniły się zdobycze techniki z końca XIX wieku m.in. telefon- pierwsze urządzenie służące do przesyłania dźwięków na odległość (Aleksander Graham Bell), fonograf- pierwsze urządzenie zapisujące dźwięk (Thomas Alv Edison 1877), gramofon (Emile Berliner 1887). Jak podają źródła, w 1948 roku francuski badacz, kompozytor, akustyk Pierre Schaeffer (1910-1995) nagrał za pomocą mikrofonu dźwięki naturalne m.in. (śpiew ptaków, hałas uliczny, rozmowy) i próbował je przekształcać. Tak powstała muzyka nazwana konkretną (fr. musigue concrete). W tym samym roku wyemitował w radiu „Koncert szumów”. Jego najważniejszą kompozycją okazał się utwór pt. „Symphonie pour un homme seul” z 1950 roku. W kolejnych latach muzykę konkretną łączono z muzyką tradycyjną. Oto pionierzy tego eksperymentu: John Cage i Yannis Xenakis. Muzyka konkretna pojawiła się w kompozycji Rogera Watersa. Utwór ten trafił na ścieżkę dźwiękową do filmu „The Body” (1970). Grupa Beaver and Krause wprowadziła muzykę konkretną do utworu „Walking Green Algae Blues” z albumu „In A Wild Sanctuary” (1970), a zespół Pink Floyd w „Animals” (1977). Pierwsze próby tworzenia muzyki elektronicznej miały miejsce w Darmstadt (w Niemczech) na Międzynarodowych Kursach Nowej Muzyki w 1950 roku. W 1951 roku powstało pierwsze studio muzyki elektronicznej przy Rozgłośni Radia Zachodnioniemieckiego w Kolonii (NWDR- Nordwestdeutscher Rundfunk). Tu tworzyli: H. Eimert (Glockenspiel 1953), K. Stockhausen (Elektronische Studie I, II-1951-1954), H.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract This thesis attempts to conceptualise ethnic identity in a more comprehensive theoretical framework. It focuses on the Kavalan, a Taiwanese aboriginal group, in order to investigate why these people have strongly reasserted themselves as a distinctive ethnic group and pursued their minority rights since the 1980s, especially after a long period of sinicization and close interaction with other ethnic groups, when they were considered to have assimilated into mainstream Chinese society. This thesis thus examines problems of ethnicity and identity formation and explores the significance of the construction/reconstruction of Kavalan identity in relation to the historical development of Taiwanese culture and society. The discontinuity and revival of Kavalan identity provide a good example of the reconfiguration of an ethnic identity.

Monika Gabriela Bartoszewicz School of International Relations University of St. Andrews Thesis submitted for Degree of PhD on September 11, 2012. Rodzinie poświęcam. 1 Abstract The conventional wisdom regarding European converts to Islam is based on the premise that the majority lack the necessary religious knowledge and being thus unable to discern between the various interpretations of Islam, they constitute easy prey for radicals. Moreover, the myth of “convert’s zeal” contributes to the belief that being ready to prove their dedication to the new faith and community, converts are ready and willing do to everything, including the most atrocious acts of political violence. This thesis focuses on the question that asks: Under what conditions do converts to Islam coming from indigenous European societies radicalise? In other words, which factors determine both their non-violent (ideological) and violent (with subsequent engagement in terrorism) radicalisation? Consequently, the research aims to examine what the radicalisation mechanisms are that may lead to such an activity, to determine possible regularities and to analyse viable implications pertaining to countering them.
